NEW YORK—Outside the Brooklyn Board of Elections, on Nov. 7, Borough President Eric L. Adams called for a fundamental reform of New York’s polling system after problems arose at polling sites on midterm election day.

Issues included delayed poll site openings, long waiting lines, optical scanners breaking down, and some locations only having one working machine, prompting Adams to propose a five-point plan to remedy the situation.
